CRD Associates is proud to announce that Jennifer Leib has been invited to address the 15th annual Medical Innovation Summit, hosted by the Cleveland Clinic. The Summit is one of the premiere events bringing together thought leaders and decision makers from around the world for timely, high-level discussion of medical innovation, its marketable output and its contribution to improving patient care. This year’s theme is Genomics & Precision Medicine and Jennifer will be a panelist on Patients First: Methods and Benefits of Bringing the Patient to the Innovation Table.

Given her background in genetic counseling and her more than a decade of experience in precision medicine advocacy, Jennifer understands the value of the patient voice in fostering innovation, and the need to enact privacy protections and other policies to encourage patients’ continued involvement. Other speakers include GE Ventures CEO Sue Siegel, CMS Administrator Seema Verma, NHGRI Director Eric Green, and more.
